The Targhees are great boots for Fall through Spring. But they’re a little sweaty during the summer. Keen Dry does breath, but not as well as some mesh vents.

The Voyageur, $99, is a solid choice for warm weather hiking. They have lots of ventilation, and are almost as light as a pair of running shoes. I’ve had a pair for a couple years, and they’re still one of my all-time favorite light hikers.

Sandals

One of my co-workers insists on wearing open-toe sandals on the river. He claims that occasionally ripping a toe nail off and walking around with a bloody stub isn’t that bad. But for those of us that like keeping our nails attached, Keen’s sandals have a sturdy rubber toe guard.

The Newport (right), $95, has a beefy sole and drawstring lace. The Turia Sandal (left), $99, is lighter and has a breathable mesh tongue

The Women’s Venice has a minimal strap pattern compared to the Newport. The bright orange version should be a great choice for people that want others to notice that they have a pair of feet.

The Hydro Guide is Keen’s most technical sandal. It uses a single pull-through webbing strap, similar to the one Chaco uses on their sandals.

All of Keen’s river sandals have razor siped soles, which helps a ton with traction on wet rocks.

Bike

The Commuter II is Keen’s SPD compatible bike sandal. It’s basically a Newport that’s been slimmed down and stiffened up. This year’s model has a velcro strap across the top of the foot, which should keep it from pulling off on the top of a pedal stroke like the old model used to.
